Game of Thrones: HBO confirms 69 minute season 6 finale, plus titles of last two episodes

The title of episode 9 (and this is the spoiler-y one) is “The Battle of the Bastards” – presumably referring to the epic Jon Snow vs. Ramsay Bolton face-off that’s been teased all season. The Thrones showrunners have previously told us that season 6 includes the biggest battle in the show’s history and it’s fair to assume this is it. The running time is 60 minutes, which is firmly on the long side. That episode airs June 19.

The title of the finale is “The Winds of Winter” – a nod to George R.R. Martin’s forthcoming sixth novel in his A Song of Ice and Fire Saga (which was also given a verbal shout-out by the theater troupe in Braavos earlier this season). The finale is a whopping 69 minutes long – which makes it the longest Thrones episode ever. That airs June 26.;

Yeah, I brought that up with the people I was watching this...Lord Varys travels from Meereen to Sunspear (just a guess, don't know what city/town he goes and find "allies" at) travels back to Meereen with his "allies", then he's on a boat (mother fucker) heading back to Westeros (with his flippie floppies). All in the amount of time that it took Jon to fight a bastard, talk to his "half-sister" and hold a meeting with the Lords of the north?

No one thought the stuff she would do in Westros would be lame, I just thought the stuff at the house of black and white left a lot to be desired. We didn't even learn the full rules or mechanics of changing faces.
